Develop six new business case studies to highlight the strengths of the area. The first three will be completed by September 2021 and the other three by March 2022. The consultant will interview, write and develop six case studies with businesses that have recently located or expanded to Bedfordshire. The case studies will be featured in a variety of marketing materials including, but not limited to: inward investment brochures, social media, and online. Update the Be Central Bedfordshire website. The Be Central Bedfordshire website should reflect the Council's vision, ambitions, and values. The content should be focused on skills, talent pool, salary comparison, sector strengths, supply chain, opportunities and it will need to fit the current website structure/design.
